Synopsis
Zinos Kazantsakis (co-screenwriter Adam Bousdoukos) is an affable
but disorganized restaurant owner, whose regulars are a motley crew
of lovable eccentrics. His life destabilises when his girlfriend
Nadine Kruger (Pheline Roggan) moves to Shanghai. Zinos misses her
so much he follows her, leaving his restaurant to be run by his
unreliable ex-con brother Illias (Moritz Bleibtreu - THE BAADER
MEINHOF COMPLEX, SPEED RACER) in his absence.
Both decisions will have a catastrophic effect on his life. While
Illias gambles away the restaurant to a dishonest real estate agent,
Zinos arrives in Shanghai to discover Nadine has already found a new
lover…
Directed by Fatih Akin (HEAD-ON and THE EDGE OF HEAVEN). SOUL
KITCHEN was Winner of the Special Jury Prize and the Young Cinema
Award for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival 2009.
